Exponent Rules!

Front

What is the value of anything raised to the zero power (except zero)?

Back

1, one

Front

What is the product of two powers with the same base?

Back

Add the exponents: a^m * a^n = a^(m+n)

Front

What is the quotient of two powers with the same base?

Back

Subtract the exponents: a^m / a^n = a^(m-n) (where a ≠ 0)

Front

What is a power raised to another power?

Back

Multiply the exponents: (a^m)^n = a^(m*n)

Front

What is the value of a negative exponent?

Back

a^(-n) = 1/(a^n) (where a ≠ 0)

Front

What does it mean to raise a power to a power?

Back

You multiply the exponents: (x^a)^b = x^(a*b)
